Thermometers

[Neha]

Just bought the Braun ear thermometer as our ped suggested it. She has a chart which gives us the temperatures reading using ear, anal, oral thermometers as each will give u a different reading

We have the Braun Thermoscan. Same here with erratic readings, but they don't differ by a mile, just a few decimal points or so and we just take the average.

In London, they say you should not even need to use a thermometer for the first 6 months. you just feel the baby's back and you know instantly if he/she is heating up. We bought an ear one anyways and I hate it. It's hard to stick in my now 1 yr old's ear and when I took him into the doctor's in Central, the doctor just stuck up the good old fashion one in his little butt which I still think is the most accurate.
